March Stone 17

This stone is located 150 metres east of Hillhead Cottage (east of Hillhead Road), adjacent to dyke and two burns. North west from stone 16. It is marked "17 ABD".

In 1780 the marker was described as an earthfast saucer stone.

A slide of this image was kindly lent to Aberdeen City Libraries by Colin Johnston so that we could create a digital copy for public use.

The image was taken in the early 1980s when Colin worked as a teacher at Bridge of Don Academy. He led several current and former pupils, and staff members in an investigation into the location, physical condition and public knowledge of Aberdeen's historic boundary markers.
